Fading light dims the sight,
And a star gems the sky,
Gleaming bright.
From afar drawing nigh,
Falls the night.

Day is done, gone the sun,
From the lake, From the hills,
From the sky.
All is well, safely rest,
God is nigh.

Then good night, Peaceful night,
Till the light of the dawn
Shineth bright,
God is near, do not fear,
Friend, good night.

Born:1877 at Johnson, KS

Entered
Service in the US Army from Kansas City, KS

Earned The Medal of Honor During the Philippine Insurrection
For heroism April 27, 1899
at Calumpit, Luzon, Philippine Islands

Died:January
13, 1952 at the age of 75

The city of
Calumpit was a strategic enemy stronghold on the far bank of the
Rio Grande de la Pampanga when Colonel Frederick Funston
approached with his 1,000 Jayhawkers on April 27, 1899. The
earthworks in the city were held by 3,000 rebel forces, whose
general boasted "Calumpit will be the sepulcher of the
Americans." Artillery failed to dislodge the rebel forces,
and a crossing of the river via the nearby railroad bridge was
deemed sheer suicide. In a daring tactical move, Colonel Funston
and 45 men moved a quarter-mile down the river. There Private
William Trembley and Private Edward White stripped their
uniforms off and, under fire from the enemy, swam the river to
fasten a rope to the occupied trenches. Colonel Funston, with
eight men, then crossed the river on a raft by using this rope
as a hand-pull, clearing the trenches to allow additional
soldiers to cross the river and attack Calumpit from the rear.
All three men were awarded the Medal of Honor for their courage
in this critical river crossing.
